So Kadir approached me at the show saying we should do a special raffle celebrating the site. We came up with a nice and quick site raffle that will celebrate 10 years @ S-B and help out Roy & John's Fishing Academy at the same time :btu:

Aquaskinz will donate the main prize:

Elite Hunter Pro Series - Double Barrel Bag:

Elite Pro Series Wading Belt with Elite Pliers Holster & Elite Tin Holster

Also got a PM from Larry:
Quote:

BigFish Bait Co. would like to fill the bag with a half dozen plugs of the winners choosing......their choice of plug styles and color!
That certainly sweetens the pot :btu:

A nice batch of Plugs additionally added by Don @ AfterHours Plugs :btu:

Each Raffle Ticket will be $5 and can be purchased by PayPal, Deadline 9pm Saturday March 20. Drawing will be Sunday at the RISAA show (Tickets will NOT be available at the show - PayPal only)

Use this Link for (updated) PayPal: closed

Use a multiple of $5 for how many tickets you want to purchase - $20 gets 5 tickets

Thanks to Aquaskinz for Supporting this site & the Raffle and Thanks to The Fishing Academy for doing great work with kids :btu:

Very cool, Thanks John and Kadir.

That is cool and as an owner of that bag I also have to say it's an awsome product. You can get plenty of plugs in there. Nice big tubes!

I just want to thank John R and all of S-B and Kadir for this. For those that aren't familiar with The fishing academy it's a non profit geard to taking kids from both the inner city and the commonwealth of Ma fishing. We have a few programs that we run thru out the year and a great summer program. I am Project director and leade instructor for the fishing academy and help to make it grow since the beging. I never thought that fishing would have the same results on other city kids as it did with me, but I was wrong. Every year I see more and more kids on there own after coming thru the academy. We have two kids from the first ever week which we employ as junior counslers now. So I speak for John as well as my self when I say we appreciate every thing you guys do to help us out. S-B has always comes thru for me.

Here's a few videos of what our summer program is like....I love working with those kids.

Thank You,
Roy

Done, to Linesider Tech, which I suppose is correct.

Unfortunately I will not be at the show. Work yesterday and drinking coffee with my daughter in Boston today at the NE Barista competition. Seems strange to be going to Boston and not to a beer fest.

Did I mention there is the American Craft Beer fest in June?

Or that we need a beer page?
